Step 2 - soften your shaving brush

Traditional shaving brushes are much more effective at preparing a beard or stubble for shaving. The quality and quantity of the badger hair used makes a difference and the better the brush, the better it will be at lifting the bristles up for a closer shave!

Soak your brush in the bowl of warm water before use, or run it under the hot tap to soften the bristles.
